- Abstract:
- In this paper flight performance of a rocket in horizontal plane in homogeneous atmosphere is studied taking into account the propellant consumption leading to decreasing mass of the rocket in flight .So much so that it encounters horizontal flight first with constant thrust, second with constant thrust acceleration and third with thrust obeying a power law. Horizontal flight with time-varying velocities under controlled thrust is also incorporated.
